    Meal plan for this week has the aim of just using stuff from the freezer so I can make space ready for Christmas food:

    M - Carbonara and salad
    T - Fishcake and mixed veg
    W - Tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes), Korean (air)fried chicken and pickles
    T - Fishcake and mixed veg
    F - Out for a friend's birthday
    S - Pulled pork, mac and cheese and coleslaw

    Breakfasts are a mix of smoothies, cereal and toast.  Lunches are mainly lentil soup as I made a big batch yesterday but a sandwich or two if I feel the need to mix it up.

    Some repeats on the meal plan, as I was feeling ill most of the weekend, due to medication and so had no appetite.
